There’s anger over that.” Pfeiffer said more than 250,000 people are expected along the parade route, and nearly 1 million could move in and out of the area surrounding the parade throughout the day.)— If Foxx listened to mentor’s advice, she might not be state’s attorney – Hal Dardick (DIERSEN: My Democrat IRS superiors got rid of my IRS mentor after he promoted me in 1974.
